Happy Holidays

What a lovely time of year this has been for us this year. The kids are loving the snow, especially Max, Christmas meant that Grandma and Grampa Rich and Uncle Greg and his friend Jenni came to visit. Max loves Uncle Greg and Grampa Rich. Grandma rates, too, but not as highly as those two. Poor Grandma. Max was really into Santa this year and lights and the tree and of course presents. He was so excited about the presents under the tree that he could barely contain himself Christmas morning. When the dust settled, what were the favorite gifts? A cool parachute toy from Aunt Kristin, and a box of Spiderman Bandaids that Santa left in his stocking. They are much more fun than the ones that Mom buys. He is also pretty fond of the Firefighter Rainjacket that he can wear with his Firehat that he got at the hospital the last time we were there.

It was such a relaxing holiday period this year and we are looking forward to a healthy and happy 2008. Max starts school on the 8th. He can't wait. He got a new backpack and lunch box for the occasion. I am a bit nervous, but I am sure I will get over it. Another new phase in our lives.

Happy New Year everyone.
